About Hervé

I cofounded Cap West Equities in 2000. It manages two alternative investment funds (Cap in and Cap off) and a Ucits fund (Cap West Partners). The specificities of these funds are their concentration on a few stocks and a focus on competitive advantage.

I am putting my experience in competitive advantage analysis to deliver a letter that is worth your time and attention.
